Single piece, simple ball turner.

[WmRMeyers]

I no longer have the ability to use this ball turner, since I electrocuted my lathe I have no need for taper or ball mechanical turning devices. My electronic control and software takes care of it all for me. What am I talking about? Look here
Ball screw and electronic lathe conversion

So I now use a solid toolpost support without a compound.


For the electrocuted lathe

Now you're taking all the fun out of it! I have John Dammyer's Electronic Lead Screw for the import 3-in-1 machine my brother bought for me. If I ever get all the varnish that used to be grease out of it. I didn't take the CNC portion of the class, what would be a natural progression for someone intending to be a real machinist. I just wanted to be be able to use my little Chinese mini-lathe from Harbor Freight. And then the Atlas TH42 I bought almost a year after I started the class...

Hi! My name is Bill, and I'm a toolahaulic!

Did I mention that I now have 5 lathes, 4 milling machines, down to 2 drill presses, and a metal shaper? 3 or 4 bandsaws, a chop saw, 3 bench grinders, four angle grinders... Man, I've got it BAD!
